Abstract- Populations of agents are evolved to perform noisy
iterated prisoner's dilemma on a toroidal grid. The agents
consist of a finite state machine specialized for playing
iterated prisoner's dilemma with a simple tag recognition
capability. The populations are allowed to evolve for 10,000
generations and the world is stored every 500 generations.
Populations from these samples are placed in competition
with populations from generation 10,000. This procedure is
